      Project : Single molecule mutation detectionSupervisors: Peter Campbell and Richard DurbinI am developing methods to detect somatic mutations from normal tissues using CCS reads and genomic changes resulting from meiotic and mitotic recombination to understand mechanism that generates genetic diversity and loss of heterozygosity in gametes and somatic cells, respectively.
